Dear SPARC - School of the Performing Arts in the Richmond Community,
Thank you for teaching, encouraging, and inspiring me to lead with my heart. I love you too. #LiveArtRVA was a blast this year. I felt it all the way down to my soul with tears over flowing as I was so full of joy and amazement. Thanks for including me.

URGENT!! CALLS NEEDED TO SAVE HEALTHY SOILS AND NEW STATE COMPOST FACILITY FUNDING!!!!
Hi Friends and Fans of Healthy Soil,
The funding for the Governor's Healthy Soil Initiative and most of the funding for the building of compost facilities across the state has been REMOVED from the California Senate's budget!
California is the nation's largest food producer. So, during a time of severe drought, it is critical that CA focus on building back our soils by utilizing compost and implementing regenerative farming practices. The Governor's Healthy Soils Initiative would put 20 million into the state budget for research and incentives for the implementation of healthy soil building practices on farmland. Additionally, funding from cap and trade would put in 60 million for building new compost facilities across the state (currently 30 percent of our "Trash" is made up of compostable material that is creating massive amounts of the potent GHG methane when it enters landfills).
HEALTHY SOIL = DROUGHT RESISTANCE
HEALTHY SOIL = CARBON SEQUESTRATION
HEALTHY SOIL = HEALTHY FOOD
THE STATE SENATE HAS TAKEN HEALTHY SOILS INITIATIVE AND FUNDING FOR NEW COMPOST FACILITIES OUT OF THE BUDGET!!
Please urge budget committee member of the Senate and Assembly to:
VOTE FOR HEALTHY SOILS!!
PLEASE CALL THESE PEOPLE
Senator Mark Leno - (916) 651-4011
Senator Nielson - (916) 651-4004
Senator Ricardo Lara - (916) 651-4033
Assembly Member Weber - (916) 319-2079
Assembly Member Bloom - (916) 319-2050
Assembly Member Melendez - (916) 319-2067
THANK YOU FOR YOU SUPPORT!!
THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!!

My friends Avasa & Matthew Love have released a new album called THE ROAD. Like they did on their first album LOVE IS KING LOVE IS QUEEN, the Loves continue to dive deep into the more meaningful inquiries and expressions of life. The Road is an album to synchronize with your own journey, whether in the world, or into the Self; with songs to inspire the work, the devotion, and the gratitude.
Their music grounds me when I'm walking through an airport, and uplifts me when I'm weeding in the garden.
Supporting these two lovebirds makes the world a better place.

One of my favorite things about touring is staring out the window watching the map of the world record herself thru my eyes. This pic is between Argentina & Chilé. A mountainous stretch with few towns, gorgeous patterns in the rock and some beautiful hidden pools formed by melting snow. From a birds eye view I can see the elements turning her into a luminous star. #hereweare
